stellarcreativespace.com inspections | 120 points | Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv

An independent 120-point check, with no ties to the seller

Our engineers inspect the car where it stands, not at a garage the dealer chose. We put it on a lift, read paint thickness on every panel, pull the fault memory and match the documents to the VIN. Nothing is skipped because the owner is in a hurry to close the sale.

The 120 points sit in five blocks, so you can see where the real risk is before you talk about money.

  1. 01Body and paint. Panel gaps, weld marks, paint gauge readings per panel, corrosion in sills and wheel arches.
  2. 02Engine and transmission. Cold start behaviour, oil and coolant condition, leaks, gear changes under load, clutch bite point.
  3. 03Chassis and brakes. Suspension play, bushings, brake discs and pads, tyre wear pattern, underbody rust.
  4. 04Electronics and interior. Fault codes, airbag status, odometer consistency, climate, windows, seats, infotainment.
  5. 05Documents and road test. VIN plates, service history, registration records, then a 15 km drive on city and highway roads.

03 / Checklist

What the 120-point inspection actually covers

120 checks / 7 groups / severity rated: Pass Attention Fail

Each check is logged with a measurement or photo reference, then rated green for within tolerance, amber for monitor or repair soon, red for stop and negotiate. Open a group to see representative rows from the checklist.

  • Compression test, all cylindersPass
  • Oil and coolant analysisPass
  • Turbo boost pressure under loadAttention

Findings are delivered as a written dossier with measurement tables. See what the report contains or book an inspection.

What the dossier contains

PDF + web link · sent within 3 hours of the visit · EN / UA

  1. VIN-specific report

    Every finding is tied to the VIN you send us, so the dossier cannot be reused for another car. The header repeats the plate, the mileage at inspection and the Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro or Kharkiv branch that handled it.

  2. Annotated photo set

    38 to 60 photos with hotspots drawn on each defect. In the web version, hovering a callout shows which panel it belongs to and what repair it implies.

  3. Paint thickness per panel

    A gauge reading for all 24 body panels with factory ranges, so filler or a repaint shows up before you negotiate.

  4. Severity legend and repair estimate

    Green passes, amber items to watch and red stop-signs, each with an estimated repair cost in UAH.

Local inspection notes for Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Kharkiv and Dnipro

Our inspectors live in the five cities where most Ukrainian used cars change hands. Each note below describes the faults we meet most often in that market, so the dossier reflects what actually matters where the car is sold.

120-point checklist / report delivered in 24 hours / prices in UAH

  1. Kyiv

    The largest and most competitive market, with a high share of cars bought at North American auctions. We read the frame rails, check straightened structural panels and confirm whether airbags were replaced after a write-off.

    • Structural repairs
    • Airbag history
  2. Lviv

    Most stock crosses the Polish and Slovak borders, so service records are dense but odometer questions on imported diesels are common. We compare ECU mileage with the service book and the wear on pedals, seats and tyres.

    • Odometer checks
    • Imported diesel
  3. Odesa

    Salt air and port auctions shape this market. Undercarriage corrosion, rusted brake and fuel lines and water-damaged interiors appear here far more often than in inland cities.

    • Undercarriage corrosion
    • Water damage
  4. Kharkiv

    Long-distance cars and rough road surfaces wear suspension parts quickly. We check control arms, shock absorbers and subframe mounts, and look for panel repairs after hail or impact damage.

    • Suspension wear
    • Hail repairs
  5. Dnipro

    Locally fitted LPG conversions are common here. We ask for the installation certificate, read the tank date stamp and run a leak test on the lines and the reducer.

    • LPG certification
    • Tank age

The 120-point inspection covers body panels, paint thickness readings, undercarriage, engine, transmission, electronics, and documents. Every finding reaches you the same day in a written dossier, rated green, amber, or red, with photos attached to the items that matter.

Buying support is optional. Add negotiation and a post-inspection price review to the same booking, or keep it to the report alone. The final price depends on the city and the vehicle class.
